Collaborative Research: Validating Assessment Procedures and Interventions for Enhancing Interdisciplinary Teamwork and Ethical Awareness in Undergraduate Project Teams

伊利诺伊理工学院作为牵头机构正在与密歇根理工大学，普渡大学和利哈伊大学合作：1）建立一个可靠有效的数据库，用于评估参加多学科设计项目的本科生的团队合作技能和道德意识的实现情况;确定并描述这些机构中的最佳实践，这些实践可以提高团队学习目标的实现，从而提高项目质量。 这些目标与以下目标一致：1）评估学生成绩，2）创建新的学习材料和教学策略，3）开发创新方法，4）纳入大量不同的学生群体。项目成果包括：1）多学科团队合作和道德意识评估指南。本指南包含自我评估、同行评估以及对工作产品和学习成果的直接评估，包括对每项措施的描述、可靠性和有效性数据以及对每项可衡量成果的优势和局限性的观察;（二）一套在线学习材料和最佳实践的例子，用于在多学科本科设计项目中培养跨学科团队合作和道德意识的能力团队

Illinois Institute of Technology as the lead institution is collaborating with Michigan Technological University, Purdue University and Lehigh University to: 1) develop a database of reliable and valid measures for assessing attainment of teamwork skills and ethical awareness in undergraduate students enrolled in multidisciplinary design projects and 2) identify and describe best practices from across these institutions that improve the achievement of team Learning Objectives and thereby increase program quality. The goals are consistent with the objectives of: 1) assessing student achievement, 2) creating new learning materials and teaching strategies, 3) developing innovative approaches and 4) inclusion of a large diverse student population. Included in the project outcomes are: 1) a Guide for Assessing Multidisciplinary Teamwork and Ethical Awareness. This Guide contains self-assessments, peer assessments, and direct evaluations of work products and learning artifacts including descriptions of each measure, data on reliability and validity, and observations about the strengths and limitations of each measurable outcome; 2) a set of online learning materials and examples of best practices for developing competencies in interdisciplinary teamwork and ethical awareness within multidisciplinary undergraduate design project teams.
